Odour neutralising of ingredients
Hi,
I have been trying to make hair oil with various oils and additives like shallots and other natural ingredients. I would like to learn how to remove the strong odour of some of the ingredients. I had done some research and Metazene and a few trademarked products I could find but would like to learn what works better and how. Many thanks in advance…

Most skincare products add 0.01% of natural ingredients just for marketing. 1% INCI rule allows to put them closer to the start of the list to make people think there is much of it.
Another option is just a perfume.
There are also refined versions of ingredients, like refined shea butter or lanolin, which doesn’t have the smell

Agreed with @fareloz
In one line of my products which are claimed fragrance free i add 0.005% fragrance enough to mask the unpleasant smell of product.

Many thanks for the responses @fareloz and @Abdullah , for your quick responses. However, I tried adding fragrance but the natural odour of shallots is overpowering and is spoiling the end product whose performance is very good though.
I am particularly looking for some compound that could first neutralize the odour before going on to add the perfume.
Alpha Aromatics manufacture 4-O-Dor details of which are copied below. I am unable to source it in India though.
